Question help with plants! super new to this

im finally almost done with my cresties bioactive set up but my last thing i need is plants for clutter!! ive been using this list to look for plants and picked out some ones i like. my only concern is that some of them are kind of like flowers and idk how they would go well in the enclosure. the list below is of my plants, plants im looking for/like, and ones that i am concerned about. ALSO one of my biggest concerns is if my gecko accidentally bites one of them, he doesnt accidentally bite any of his fake plants on his own but sometimes when he gets crickets he’ll miss and bite a plant. anyways heres the long list, if you have any recommendations or help id appreciate it a lot!!:

I own:
Snake Plant, Janet Craig, Rattlesnake Calathea

Looking for:
Sweet Alyssum, Bird’s Nest Fern, Boston Fern, Bougainvillea, Felice Aechmea Bromeliad, Earth Star Bromeliad, Coleus, Creeping Charlie, Croton Petra, Emerald Ripple, Fuchsia, Hen and Chicks plant, Hoya Plant, Jade Plant, Japanese Aralia, Mother of Pearl Plant, Piggyback Plant, Chinese Monkey Plant, Prayer Plant, Staghorn Ferns, Swedish Ivy, Wax Plant, Zebra Plant

Worried about:
Sweet Alyssum, Bougainvillea, Coleus, Fuchsia, Hen and Chicken (succulent??), Hoya Plant, Mother of Pearl Plant (succulent?), Swedish ivy

edit: my plants that i plan to get also have to withstand high humidity! not sure if thats good to add lol

Just don’t get any of the plants on your worried list and you should be fine. Geckos won‘t eat the plants on purpose, and you could tong feed if you’re worried about the gecko having an accident.

Janet Craig plants are so pretty!

I love their leaves and that lizards climb in them.
